PFAS: Regulation Updates and Minimizing Compliance and Litigation Risk

Understand the evolving PFAS policy, legal and remediation landscape, and key drivers shaping the latest developments.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, also known as PFAS, are emerging as one of the nation's most significant environmental problems. Learn from the only nationally recognized thought leader on PFAS predictions for how two significant federal regulations will change in the next 12 to 24 months that will significantly impact businesses. Examples will be provided of companies not typically thought of as impacted by these changes to show that the federal regulations will have broad-sweeping impacts. In addition, you will learn best practices to be taken in the compliance and litigation processes should you, your company, or your clients find themselves concerned about PFAS risks or embroiled in PFAS enforcement actions or lawsuits.

Learning Objectives

  • You will be able to recognize how to approach Requests for Information (RFIs) received from regulatory agencies.
  • You will be able to discuss technology developments and benefits and pitfalls to the remediation process.
  • You will be able to explain common gaps in compliance checks.
  • You will be able to review practical considerations for a comprehensive PFAS compliance program.
